Yuanshen: Reincarnation of General Thunder and Rescue God of Grass

Little is known that there is an extremely secret cellar in the base of the castle tower, which is a [stone wall] made of a large number of irregular stone blocks.

Recall that at the beginning of its construction, in that era of instability, it was originally a military important place for storing weapons, food and grass and other war-ready materials, and was specially responsible for providing logistical assistance to those soldiers who died in the castle tower at the last moment.

However, before the issuance of the Lockdown Order and the Eye Hunting Order, Inazuma had a centuries-long period of peace under the rule of the puppet general, during which there were no major wars, and Narugami Island gradually became the safest place in the entire Inazuma, so the cellar was slowly left unused and even reduced to a utility room for a while.

Now, it has been converted into a temporary prison for the three "prisoners" who dared to disrupt the eye-hunting ritual - because of its high concealment, even the "Heavenly Leader Obeying Lord" Kujo Filial Piety cannot be found here.

......

In the dim cellar, in the flickering candlelight, the blonde girl from a foreign land opened her eyes again.

Looking up, there were still two heavily armed guards standing at the door of the cellar, they were staring at this side, not squinting, their right hands on the hilt, looking like they could draw their swords at any time to fight, and their faces were full of vigilance.

Outside the thick iron gate, a series of heavy footsteps could be heard from time to time, suddenly far and near, almost every hundred breaths repeatedly, and it has never been interrupted.

In addition, every time you open the door, you can see two shogunate samurai standing guard outside the door...

"Alas."

Seeing this scene, the girl couldn't help sighing, leaned her back against the cold stone wall, curled up, hugged her hands and knees, and fell into deep thought again.

How long has this scene been going on since I woke up? She couldn't remember exactly.

However, based on her observations during this time, she speculated that there were at least ten shogunate samurai in charge of guarding and changing the guard in turn!

Moreover, these guards all have a wistful anger on their bodies, their palms are covered with thick cocoons, and some of them have hideous scars on their faces, and their breath is stable and thick, obviously they are elite warriors who have experienced the baptism of blood!

Before being locked up here, she and a like-minded companion had forced their way through the town sho, the territory of the Celestial Domain, but the guards there were far less than here, both in number and in the strength of the guards themselves.

Obviously, due to General Raiden's phrase "strictly guarded" at that time, there were nine or even ten times more guards here than in normal cells! And all of them are elite, difficult to deal with.

The difficulty of jailbreaking has also increased dramatically.

But even so....

(Anyway...) Gotta find a way out!

She secretly made up her mind.

In contrast, on the wooden table not far from the girl, there was a completely different picture:

"Hmm... This is delicious... Huh? Ying, you're awake! Would you like to eat a little? "

If you go hungry for a long time, it's not good for your health."

I saw my travel guide (mascot) and travel companion, the pocket girl named "Paimon" and the young man named "Toma", sitting on a wooden box and looking at him with a smile, shaking and shaking various snacks in his hands, greeting him in a tone full of temptation and concern.

Ignore Paimon's bad face covered in oil for a moment....

"You guys... Aren't you afraid that the food will be poisoned? The girl frowned and couldn't help but ask.

"Huh? No, it won't, right? In this regard, Paimon was first shocked, and then couldn't help but wonder: "We are all locked up in this dark place, surrounded by hard stone walls, we can't escape at all, right?" Why did they poison our food..."

Toma couldn't help but nod and comforted

, "Paimon is right, Ying, you are thinking too much. If Lord Shogun really intends to execute us, he will definitely not use poisoning, which is not only contrary to Inazuma's warrior way, but also not in line with the majesty of the gods. What's more..." At

this, he paused, then smiled, and said optimistically:

"If Lord General insists on taking our lives, even if Lord Master of the family personally comes forward to intercede for us... I'm afraid nothing will change. If that's the case, why worry about that? Enjoy the time. Compared

to the simple-minded and dumb-looking Paimon, as the housekeeper of the shrine family, Toma is very open-minded.

"Let's eat some fresh fried skewers next, hmm~ It's really good, sure enough, it's still the fried skewers in [Munan Ryotei] are the best!"

"And this! This, what is called "Sancai Danzi", Paimon also thinks it is very good! Delicious! "

“...... Alas.

Looking at the two people in front of him who were focused on eating, Ying shook his head and felt a little helpless.

And that's exactly what happened.

Due to the general's previous phrase of "good hospitality", the guards here basically meet the requirements of the three of them as much as possible, and even trivial matters such as washing and going to the toilet will be accompanied by special maids.

After all, Raiden General is Inazuma's supreme law, and the words she says and the orders she gives are, in a sense, the "law" itself, and no one dares to disobey.

Although Toma and Paimon have almost "laid flat" during this time, turning themselves into pure foodies and not thinking about anything else, Ying doesn't blame them.

Yes, she really wanted to leave here and embark on an unfinished journey to find her blood relatives, but even if she defeated the guards here and managed to escape from prison, then what?

She had heard the guards here inadvertently talk about it before, this was the cellar of the castle tower! That is, at the feet of Raiden General!

Even if she successfully escapes from prison, successfully escapes from here, and faces the God of Thunder again, she will still lose without suspense.

In that case, what will happen to her, and Thoma?

——Will it still be like now, seemingly in prison, but actually enjoying?

Although during this time, she was more than once confused by the current placement and treatment of herself and others, and even optimistically thought that the God of Thunder might not have the intention to kill, but...

Once she makes the act of "murder and escape", I am afraid that there will be no room for maneuver between herself and that god, right?

After all, even a god can't tolerate something infinitely - not to mention that she and Paimon are not Inazuma yet. As the god of Inazuma, the ruthless Raiden General had no reason to turn his back on the two of them.

So, she has been hesitating all this time.

Of course, no time was wasted.

Once she felt that there was nothing to do, she would close her eyes and keep repeating, rehearsing, and recalling every detail of that duel in her mind—that is, the battle against the God of Thunder in that unknown space.

In addition to the battle itself, there are many other things that puzzle her:

Why is there always a sadness and sorrow between [her] eyebrows?

And when you see yourself, why is there more hope in your eyes?

In short, very contradictory.

There is also an inexplicable sense of discord:

the "Raiden General" he saw in front of the Thousand Hands and Hundred Eyes statue that day, and the Raiden General he saw in that unknown space after that... There seems to be a slight subtle difference between the two?

She didn't understand.

At the end of the day, she now has too little information to make valid and reasonable judgments.

It doesn't matter if it's about it, or whether you make up your mind to break out of jail...

(If Raiden General is not in the castle tower, then you can try to force his way out...)

Opening her eyes again, she looked at the guard at the door.

For the most part, the guards don't speak, and only when they ask for a request or change the guard, they will say a word or two.

But now, she can only pin her hopes on those guards, find ways to obtain decisive information, and then find an opportunity to escape here with Paimon and Thoma!

She has this confidence and this confidence.

Because that Raiden General didn't seem to tell these guards his "secrets" or "traits" - that is, as a traveler who did not belong to this world, he could use elemental power even without the Eye of God!

The power of the Eye Hunting Order is naturally ineffective against her.

In other words, at this moment, she seems to be locked up here, but in fact, her strength has always been at the peak, as long as she is willing, she can break this fragile cage at any time!

Therefore, at the moment, it is not so much that she is guarded, but that she is voluntarily locked up because she cannot find a suitable opportunity for the time being!

Just as she was in thought....

"Click—"

Footsteps came again outside the door.

And then....

"Boom—" The

heavy iron door was opened.

At first, the girl thought that it was time to change the guard again, so she calmed down and planned to listen to the conversation between the guards, but she never expected...

But new faces had never been seen before, with a clear goal:

"Lord General wants to see you." Three, please come with us.

"Snap!"

At this moment, someone's half-eaten fried skewer suddenly fell to the ground.

The words of the visitor stunned the three people, including the girl!
